MEMENTO. 



To THE Board of Trustees of the Theological Seminary of 
THE Protestant Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Ohio, 

Gentlemen : 

Having been appointed a committee to prepare for publication a 
statement of donations made to our Diocesan Institutions, the fol- 
lowing is respectfully submitted. S. A. Bronson. =^^ 

To the Donors of the Theological Seminary and Kenyon 
College. 

Dear Friends : 

As jou have generously parted with the fruits of your toil, and 
many of you have denied self, and abridged personal comforts to 
advance an institution devoted to religion and learning, which youi 
are perhaps never to see, it is supposable that you may sometimes 
inquire what has been done with those gifts? Has good been 
effected ; is their value still preserved to bless coming ages ; or have 
they been unwisely wasted or lavishly squandered for the personal 
gratification of individuals? Has the purpose of so frequent appeals 
for funds been legitimate, and to supply reasonable wants, or to rem- 
edy the effects of bad management? Has the Institution arisen to 
any thing that promises to be a credit to its founders and a blessing 
to the Church? Have not the funds contributed been vastly out of 
proportion to the results ? 

The following view will, it is hoped, return an adequate reply to 
these and all questions that may be asked. Most will probably find 
that less has been given, less lost by mistake and bad management^ 
and that the present position of the Institution, as to appliances and 

* t my request two others, the Rt. Rev. G. T. Bedell, D. D,, andPres't. Lorin 
Andrews, LL. D., were added to the Committee, to whom the "whole has been 
submitted for revision. 



facilities for instruction, and its prospect of growth and perma- 
nency, are better, than is supposed. A friend was asked, not long 
since, after viewing the buildings, making acquaintance with the 
officers, and visiting them at their houses, " How much had been 
given to these Institutions?" His asiswer was, more than double 
the actual amount. If such impressions are common, it is time they 
were corrected by a statement of facts. 

This report, however, was suggested by a desire to affer a token 
of gratitude to the Donors.. Probably no institutions, of the im- 
portance and extent of these, have ever been built up by the gifts 
of so many, or nourished by so many praying hearts. May 
Heaven's richest blessings crown them all, is the prayer of him who 
writes this, and of the Board which he represents. 

The first move ever made by Episcopalians, in Ohio, to apply to 
Eastern Churches for aid to our Western frontier, was in a sugges- 
tion of Bishop Chase, in his address to the Convention of the 
Diocese, in 1821. After noticing the destitution of Ohio, and the 
hopelessness of any supply, without special effort, Bishop C. urged 
three points for the consideration of the Convention : 

1. The formation of a Diocesan Missionary Society, 

2. That an address be presented to Eastern Bishops and Churches, 
asking pecuniary aid. 

3. The appointment of a day of fasting and prayer. 

In accordance with these suggestions, a Society was formed, of 
which the Bishop was President ; the Eev. K. Searle, Vice-Presi- 
dent ; Rev. Samuel Johnston, Recording Secretary ; Rev. P. Chase, 
Jr., Corresponding Secretary ; and B. G-ardiner, Esq., Treasurer. 
The last Friday in August was set apart as a day of fasting and 
prayer, and the Rev. P. Chase, Jr., was appointed an agent to apply 
to Eastern Churches for aid. 

The result of this application was the collection of $2,911 09. 
This sum, for a number of years, afforded important aid in the sup- 
port of missionaries throughout the wide wilderness of Ohio. 

From this movement, and its results, two facts were ascertained 
by the Church in Ohio : 

1. That foreign aid could be had by asking. 

2. That money to support missionaries would be of but little use 
unless men could be found. 

Meanwhile, Bishop Chase's address to the Ohio Convention 



reached England. In the Britisli Critic, for May, 1822, appeared 
the following notice of the Journal of the Ohio Convention, writ- 
ten by the Rev. Thomas Hartwell Home ; 

" Bishop Chase traveled, in the course of the year 1820, on horse- 
back (which is the only way of visiting infant settlements of that 
country), a distance of 1271 miles." Other remarks followed (bring- 
ing the condition and wants of Ohio very fully before the British 
public), founded particularly upon the appeal of the Church in Ohio 
for missionary assistance. 

Bishop Chase says : " It was these representations in the British 
Critic, noticed by his son in an American newspaper, and reported 
by him to his father, which kindled hope in their almost despairing 
minds, and led to a determination to visit a country where their 
wants in the Western wilderness were thus known and pitied." It 
w^as then determined that as money did not succeed in bringing mis- 
sionaries to the West, an institution of learning must be provided 
for their education. 

Accordingly, in the year 1823, thellev. Philander Chase, Jr., was 
appointed Agent, to visit England and apply for further aid. He 
was authorized to draw upon the funds of the Missionary Society of 
Ohio for his salary and expenses. But the health of this promis- 
ing young man so rapidly failed, that he was unable to proceed. 

Now it was that Bishop Chase himself determined to go to Eng- 
land ; and accordingly started, August 4, 1823. He was favored 
by the Hon. Henry Clay with a letter of introduction to the Bight 
Hon. x\dmiral Lord Gambler. These two statesmen had met as 
commissioners at the treaty of Ghent, in 1815, and by means of 
their acquaintance Bishop Chase was at once introduced to some of 
the most prominent and influential men in England. After the way 
was prepared, and the object of his visit fully understood, he pro- 
ceeded to execute a conditional deed of his farm at Worthington, 
valued by him at $5000, to trustees in England, viz : Lords Kenyon 
and Gambler, the Bev. Geo. Gaskin, D. D., and Henry Hoare, Esq.^ 
as afoundation for a Theological Seminary. Upon this farm the 
Seminary was to be built, unless some other place should be offered^ 
which the Hon. Henry Clay should esteem equally valuable. Should 
such a place be offered this deed was to be void. 

The above-named Trustees then issued the following : " A'ppca] 



hi Behalf of the Biocesf" of Qhio. in the Western Ttrritorij of the 
United States :'' 

"The Episcopal Churcli of the United States of America derives 
Its origin from this country. Ten dioceses have been formed, nine 
of -^hich are in the Atlantic States, east of the Allegany Mount- 
ains. Portions of two of these dioceses, those of Philadelphia and 
Virgiaia, reach across the mountains, as they are co-extensive with 
the respective States of Pennsylvania and Virginia ; but the diocese 
-of Ohio is the only diocese yet formed beyond those mountains in 
the Western Territory of the States. 

•' The pressing want of clergymen in this diocese has kd the ^t, 
^ev. Prelate, who has the care of its scattered parishes, to visit this 
<?ountry, that he may procure that aid which is necessary to preserve 
■this infant Church from perishing, and which he had no hopes of 
procuring elsewhere. 

'* The Han. Henry Clay, Speaker of the House of Representatives 
of the United States, himself an inhabitant of the State of Ken- 
tucky, in the Western Territory, and perfectly acquainted with the 
■destitute condition of that Territory, in respect of Christian minis- 
ters and sacred ordinances, addressed a letter to the Right Hon. 
Admiral Lord Gambler, requesting his lordship's assistance in pro- 
moting the object of Bishop Chase's visit to this country. 

" Lord G-ambier having introduced the subject to some of his 
friends well acquainted with the constitution and proceedings of 
the American Episcopal Church, they entered into a full examina- 
tion of the claims of the Diocese of Ohio on Christian benevolence, 
■and the expediency of rendering the aid requested. The result 
has been their full coiivictioii that the spiritual wants of that dio- 
cese call for special provision and assistance, and that appropriate 
•and adequate provision for the supply of such wants requires the 
establishment of an institution on the spot, in which natives of the 
-country may be prepared for the miiiistry at an expense within 
their reach, and in habits suited to the sphere of their labors ; and 
•they are satisfied that this important object is not likely to be ac- 
-complished without liberal aid from this country.'' 

Here the.'* Appeal " proceeds to state the grounds of their con- 
'zictions, which it is not necessary here to repeat, and in conclusioa 
«ays ■:. 



7 

'' The powerful appeal wliicli these facts make to the benevolent 
heart will not, as the friends of Bishop Chase are persuaded, he 
made in vain. Adequate aid, furnished at this juncture, will con- 
solidate and extend the eiHeiency of the American Church, by con- 
tributing to supply with suitable ministers that vast mass of popu- 
lation which is continually emigrating westward ; while without- 
such aid the Church itself, established by such a course of self- 
denying and unwearied toil, will dwindle and perish, and the popu- 
lation be given up to the unmitigated consequences of a famine of 
the Divine ordinances." 

'• A subscription has therefore been opened in furtherance of the 
object stated in this appeal. Henry Hoare, Esq., Banker, of Fleet 
Street, is treasurer of the fund, the proceeds of which will be vested 
in government securities till the same shall be drawn for by the 
proper authorities in the Diocese of Ohio." 

The evidence of the special object for which this fund was raised, 
is found in Bishop Chase's ''Flea for the West.'' He says, p. 4; 
•' No sooner was this appeal made to them (the English), than they 
met and answered it with a liberal hand. ' Take,' said they, ' our 
proportion in full to accomplish your great and benevolent design ^ 
but in so doing, our wishes are appropriate and just, that what we 
give he regarded as a fund to he laid out in lands, or other icise^ for 
the permanent hetafit of tJiis and future generations.' '" 

The result will show that those wishes have been strictly cora- 
plied with. The money was first laid out in land, and was so kept 
till, in the judgment of the Trustees, it would be " otherwise " more 
productive'. Now the land has been sold, and the fund entire iu'^ 
vested mainly in bond and mortgage.

It is soppoEcd that the sum ot £100. giyen by Lady Eosse idr 
the specific purpose of aiding in the erection of a College Chapel, is 
included in the £4:[)i) credited to her in the aboTe list. Possibly, 
it is not. At any rate, the commemoration of this gift, by naming 
the building after her — ^Rosse Chapel — was no more than a jnst 
tribute to her Christian generosity. She gave, at the same time, 
another £100 to aid the -R-eak larishes of that day in bnilding 
ehnrches.

as his statement, often published iii . :- .ilitt. that the whole 
amount was rising §30.000 was approTe I. lz le-isz \j the silence of 
Ae English Trustees. 

The names, however, of several of the other doBors, will appear 
frojR the following extracts firom Bishop Chase's correspondence and 
addresses, after his rerum to this country : 

•TThen Bishop Chase arrived in England, a train of providences 
prepared the way for his favorable reception, and the interesting 
claims of religion and leamiDg, in Ohio, were taken hold of by men 
who stand highest among the examples of Christian benevolence in 
England. Among these ^^eie Lords Grambier. Kenyon. and Eex- 
ley. and Sir Thoisas Aeland. among the nobility, and Dr. Gaskin, 
3Ir. Pratt, Mr. 3Iarriott. and others, some of the most disdnguished 
of the clergy and gentry. An appeal, addressed to the British pub- 
lic, was prepared by the editors of the Christian Ohserver, and CJiri^ 
tian Guardian, by several of the oSeers of the Society for Promoting 
Christian Knowledge, and of the Church Missionary Society : ae 
appeal which eventuated in raising at least |30,000." — Committee^ 
of the Ohio Ojnrention. 

Most interesting letters (the originals of which, neatly bound in 
a Tolmne, have lately been presented to the library of the Institu- 
tion by Eev. Dudley Chase) were addressed to Bishop Chase, from 
a dat]^hter of the celebrated Jones, of Xavland, Admiral Lord 



15 

Gambier, Lord Kenyon, the Bisliop of London, the Arehhisliop of 
Canterbury, and Lord Bexley. 

The following is from the daughter of a highly respectable 
clergyman. At the time this was written she was only fourteen 
years of age, and so great was her interest, that by her industry she 
had raised nearly $35 toward the object, and says to Bishop Chase: 
" May I beg of you to give my affectionate love to your children, 
and tell them how little deserving I feel myself of their love, and 
of my most honorable title of Mary Ohio. I wish it were in my 
power to prove myself better entitled to one and the other ; but I 
believe I shall easily gain credence when I say, that to repay to 
Ohio one iota of those blessings which I have received from her, 
would be a real happiness to me. ^ * I will thank you for 
your great kindness to me, who can only wish you well, and can 
plead your cause in no other way than by sometimes whispering. 
' there is a rose in the West, whose head is drooping for want of 
watering, and her stem bending for want of propping.' " 

One of the contributors that should by no means be forgotten, 
was Mrs. Hannah More, who took a deep interest in Bishop Chase's 
plans, and herself subscribed £50. 

Bishop Chase, in his address to the Convention in 1824, says of 
the English people, in reference to the Ohio Seminary : "Never 
was benevolence more disinterested ; never was zeal more active. 
The task of solicitation being assumed by the most respectable 
characters, the rich feasts of intellectual intercourse and Christian 
courteousness were every -where spread before me." 

One occurrence, or rather series of occurrences, seems stranger 
than fiction. One day, long before Bishop Chase thought of ever 
going to England, having been at work on his farm at Worthing- 
ton, at the close of the day he penned a letter to Dr. Jarvis, in an- 
swer to one of inquiry respecting the condition of the Church in 
the West. This letter became a little stained with blood from a 
crack in the Bishop's hand, for which he apologized, by saying he 
had just come in from work. Dr. Jarvis, in answer to inqairies 
from one of the Scottish Bishops respecting the condition of the 
Church in this country, sent Bishop Chase's letter just as he had 
received it. The daughter of this Bishop (Duff. McFarlane) was 
then in England, at the death-bed of John Bowdler, J^^sq., when she 
received a letter from her father, inclosing that sent by Dr. Jarvis, 



16 

from Bishop Chase. She read the letter to the dying man. and was

had been completed, and five hundred and forty-six volumes added 
to the library. 

In 1827, it is further stated : '' In England, too, the fountain is 
by no means exhausted. A box of books, worth several hundred 
dollars — including Walton's Polyglot Bible, and many of the 
Fathers and standard books — was sent us during the last winter, as 
the gift of the Right Hon. Lord Kenyon and the Rev. Dr. Ward, 
of Grreat Horenly ; and I am lately informed that Mrs. Walker, 
daughter of the late excellent William Jones, of Nayland, has 
caused to be prepared, in London, a most valuable telescope for the 
use of the students of Kenyon College." 

In 1830, appears Bishop Chase's final notice of the English 
benefactions, as follows : " A plain statement of facts which have 
taken place since the Rev. Mr. West went to England, if I recol- 
lect aright, is this : I received from Lord Kenyon, to be considered 
as the legacy of his daughter, the late Hon. Margaret Langham, 
£500 ; also, in a draft from Thpmas Bates, Esq., £100 ; also, from 
G. W. Marriott, Esq., of London, as the avails of Mr. West's col- 
lection, £400— making in all £1,000." 

Such are the pleasing evidences of the kind interest which the 
English Church took in the founding of the Theological Seminary 
of the Diocese of Ohio, and Kenyon College. 



Efforts made for the Seminary and College in the 
United States, by Bishop Chase. 

It will be proper next, to consider the efforts made by Bishop 
Chase, in behalf of these institutions, in his own country. His first 
atep, after returning from England, was to fix upon a site for the 
Seminary and College. His conditional deed of donation left him 
at liberty to seek another location, if Henry Clay should approve. 
Mrs. Betsey Reed, of Putnam, 0., had made a liberal oflfer of 1,000 
acres of land on Elm Creek, twelve miles north of Columbus. 
This was first adopted, and something was done toward a beginning 
upon it. 

Meanwhile Bishop Chase had his attention called, by Daniel S. 
Norton, Esq., and Henry B. Curtis, Esq., of Mount Vernon, to a tract 
of land, 8,000 acres, in Knox county, lying five miles east of the 



18 

county-seat. The land was owned by William Hogg, Esq., of 
BrownsYille, Penn., and appeared to Bishop C. so well adapted to 
his purpose, that he immediately made a contract for it at $3 per 
acre, subject to the approval of the Trustees and Henry Clay. After 
mature deliberation, it was decided to approve the purchase, and 
locate the Seminary where it now is. Mr. Hogg generously con- 
sented to donate one-fourth of the price of the land, 86,000, and 
upon the receipt of 818,000, conveyed the title to the Trustees of 
the Theological Seminary of the Diocese of Ohio. Then com- 
menced the struggles which have resulted in the establishment of 
the present institutions — the Theological Seminary of the Diocese 
of Ohio, and Kenyon College. 

The following is an extract from an '' Appeal in behalf of Re- 
ligion and Learning in 0/i?'o," published by Bishop Chase, and dated 
Nov. 21, 1826. After noticing the results of his appeal to JEnglish 
friends, he says : 

"With a heart deeply penetrated by grateful emotions for such 
unexampled benevolence from a foreign fountain, the undersigned 
would turn with reasonable confidence, and with great respect, to 
his own countrymen; and while he does so, he offers an anxious 
prayer to God. that he may find favor in their sight. 

" He earnestly desires them to consider, that the steps taken by 
the undersigned have been approved by the Christian world, and by 
his own community in Ohio in particular : that the Convention of 
Ohio having framed a constitution, and appointed trustees of the 
intended institution in conformity to acknowledged principles, the 
civil legislature has established the same as a corporate body ; that 
a tract of land of great intrinsic worth, especially as a future sure 
and increasing revenue to the College, has been purchased at a very 
reduced price, and the Seminary and College permanently fixed 
thereon; and that for the payment of this land, consisting of 8,000 
acres, the funds collected in England have, in a good measure, been 
pledged. 

''The result of all this is the imperious necessity of ohiaining 
means to erect the requisite huildings. That this necessity may 
appear undisputed, let the greatness of the undertaking, and the 
smallness of the means hitherto obtained, (however munificent in 
themselves,) be compared, and how conspicuous will be the dis- 
parity ! What college was ever reared with only ^30.000 ? If we 



19 

saw our building now erected, and if the funds obtained in England 
were 7iow at interest, the whole would constitute but a heginning— 
but the foundation of so great a work. What, then, must be the 
solicitude of every true Christian and lover of his country, for the 
fate of this benevolent work, when he is told that the buildings are 
scarcely commenced^ and the funds, according to the designs of the 
donors, are invested more for permanent than for present use? Was 
it unreasonable, when the undersigned stipulated with the benefac- 
tors in England, that if they would contribute toward the perma- 
nent fund, his own country, America, would furnish means for the 
buildings? To refuse such a condition, would have been a stain on 
his native land. The honor, therefore, of the American name, 
unites with the goodness of the cause, in sustaining the fervent 
hope and humble trust that this stipulation will be fulfilled. The 
Ohio Seminary will succeed. Americans will do something to erect 
the buildings, when their religious brethren in England have done 
so much for its permanent support. j|< >!< ^5^ ^ 

Grod save our country from ignorance and sin, through Jesus Christ 
our Lord. Philander Chase." 

" P. S. Such benevolent persons as find it in their hearts to 
contribute, are requested to send their benefactions to either of the 
following gentlemen : 

Leonard Kip, Esq., President of the North River Bank, 

William Jones, Esq., Philadelphia, 

Com. Tingey, Washington. 

Joseph McNeil, Esq., New Orleans, 

Charles Sigourney, Esq., Hartford. 

E. A. Newton, Esq., Boston.'' 
To the above appeal there was, as will hereafter appear, a gener- 
^ous respofise. 

This p?ea was made in 1826. In 1828, we find Bishop Chase 
entreating Congress for a grant of a township of land. In this h<3 
was disappointed. A bill passed the Senate, but in the House was 
orowded out by a press of business. Though foiled in this, h€ did 
not despair. In trying times Bishop Chase was never without an 
^expedient. When there was no opposition nor difiiculty, he might 
be at a loss what to do, and how to expend his mighty energies ; 
Wt when wind and current were against him, he commonly found 
m them the very elements of success. 



20 

At this time lie published his " Star in the West ; or, Kenyon 
College in the Year of our Lord, 1828." 

After giving a history of his application to Congress and its fail- 
ure, and recounting the pressing necessities of the College, Bishop 
Chase says: A small sum only is ashed of every friend of every name 
and class. ^ * Whoever reads this is, therefore, most respect- 
fully and earnestly entreated to send one dollar in aid of the 
present struggles of Kenyon College." What the precise effect of 
this plea was, it is impossible now to say. It is said that the dol- 
lars came to Gambler as leaves fall in Autumn, but there is no 
distinction made in the account rendered, between the results of 
this and of the former appeal. 

In the year 1829, Bishop Chase rendered the following account 
of all the donations he had received in this country; and as at the 
close he appeals to the donors themselves, to inform him if any 
thing was omitted, and then published it to the world, it affords the 
best evidence the case admits of, that all the funds contributed were 
accounted for :

By the exertions of a Eeverend brother in tlie City of Phila- 
delphia,* the late appeal made by me has resulted in several dona- 
tions, amounting to S400 actually received. By advices from that 
brother of late date. I understand that 8100 additional may be 
expected soon, and a still further sum of SlOO promised at a longer 
period. For this whole sum we are to be indebted to the congrega- 
tion of St. Andrew's Church, 8200 of which is from a society of 
ladies, the result of their own work. 

X. B. If in the multiplicity of cares, tbe Bishop has omitted to 
insert the name of any donor, (in which the Seminary would be the 
loser.) or any donation has been twice acknowledged, by being 
included in any aggregate sum. and also set down separately in the 
above list, (in which case the Bishop would be loser.) it is earnestly 
rec|uested that such mistake be immediately communicated for cor- 
rection. — Bishop Chase's Pamphlet. 1829. 



St. George's CnrRcn Scholarship. 
In addition to the above, it should be stated, that St. George's 
Church paid into the treasury of the Institution, $1,000, in consid- 
eration of which, that Church was forever to have the privilege of 
keeping, at Kenyon. a student for the ministry, at the charge of the 
Institution for board, tuition, washing, fuel, and lights, during the 
forty weeks of term time. This could have been done at that time, 
when the charges for these items in College were only 870, but it 
would be a hard bargain if enforced now, when these bills are more 
than doubled. 



MiLNOR Professorship. 
Bespecting this professorship very little can be ascertained. Dr. 
Tyng writes that he knows nothing of its origin. From statements 

* Rev. B. Allen. 



81 

made incidentally by Bishop Chase, at different times, it appears 
that Arthur Tappan, of New York, originated the movement by 
offering $1,000, provided $10,000 should be subscribed. Bishop 
Chase contributed $1,000 ; but who made up the balance, can not 
now be ascertained. There were some failures of subscription, and 
Bishop Chase's gift was absorbed in the treasury ; so that when 
Bishop Chase resigned, the fund in the hands of the New York 
trustees was considerably less than $10,000. This has since been 
made up by St. George's Church contributing $2,500. 

This fund is under the entire control of trustees appointed by the 
vestry of St. George's Church, the interest of which, according to 
the conditions of the subscription, was forever to be a[)piied to the 
support of the " Milnor Professor of Systematic Divinity in the 
Theological Seminary of the Diocese of Ohio." 

The nomination of the incumbent was to be made by the Kector 
of St. George's Church during the life of Dr. Milnor, and ten years 
afterward. 



Those who have given these funds will here very naturally inquire 
how they have been expended. In this respect, very little was at 
the option of Bishop Chase. In building an institution of learning 
amid a dense forest, the first thing to be done would be to hire 
workmen and build shanties for them to live in. In the absence of 
markets, and amid a very sparse squatter population, lands must be 
cleared and grounds tilled to afford workmen the means of living. 
As nothing in the way of building could be done without lumber, 
and this could not be had in sufficient quantities at any reasonable 
price, mills must be erected for its manufacture. For this, too, heavy 
ox teams, and all the costly appliances of hauling saw-logs and 
lumber must be provided. A flouring mill was also needed to fur- 
nish material for the staff of life. Thus, in almost every j)articular 
after Gambler was chosen, it was necessary to begin with the very 
elements of civilization. 

But the Institution must soon be in operation, that funds might 
be coming in, and a right influence going out ; and yet the first 
buildings for the use of students must, from the brief time allowed, 
nearly all be temporary. To erect such, would be the dictate of 



32 

prudence and sound judgmenr ; but in this case it was necessity, 
which knows no law, Nearly all the buildings that Bishop Chase 
erected, at an expense nearly equal to the amount of what was col- 
lected in this country, were temporary, and haye since entirely 
disappeared. The whole amount collected by Bishop Chase, in the 
United States, was about 813.000, and the cost of iouildings that 
were temporary, of clearing and fencing farms, and farming stock 
and implements, was put down by him. in 1?.30. at 817.217. 

The balance of the 330.000 obtained in Europe, after paying for 
the land, was also inyested in building, and a considerable debt 
incurred besides, which was afrerward paid by the sale of lands. 
But Bishop Chase's works were not all temporary. The central 
part of the building, known as Kenyon College. 110 feet by 40, 
with walls of stone four feet in thickness a: the base, was built by 
him. and will stand while time shall last, a fitting monument of 
auch a man as Bishop Chase. The foundation, also, of Bosse Chapel 
was laid by him. and aboye 83.000 expended upon it ; but upon a 
plan entirely different from the one afterward adopted, when it was 
built with funds solicited by Bishop Mcllyaine. 

The Institution was thus brought in debt, which was afterward 
liquidated by a sale of the north half of the original purchase. A 
circumstance ought to be mentioned here, to elicit information. 
Bishop Chase says, in his defense, page fifteen : •• Seyenteen lots and 
out-lots are bargained away and paid for ;" but what particular lota 
they were, and who purchased them, has not been ascertained. The 
sum of §1.310, receiyed on this accotint, was acknowledged by 
Bishop Chase. Xo deeds were eyer giyen. and the money must 
haye been intended rather as a donation than as the price of a pur- 
':'hase; else the trustees would haye been asked to refund. 

The following communication of Philander Chase Freeman. Esq., 
and found in the ■• Sa^istics of the Philomatiiesian Society,;' p. 27, 
giyes a yiyid idea of what Grambier was at the time here referred to : 

" TVhen I first entered Kenyon, then located at Worthington, 
Ohio was in its infancy, and its inhabitants not much adyanced in 
knowledge or even ciyiiization. My first years at Kenyon were 
spent in a log cabin for my study. I went to Gambler before the 
College was erected, and before any improyements were made on the 
College Hill. The first night I spent on the College Hill, was in a 
cabin of boughs, coyered with En;^lish blankets, the donation of 



33 

English liberality, while the foundations of Kenyon College were 
being laid. In the winter of 1827, I was engaged in teaching the 
first rudiments of the English language to original settlers, in a log 
cabin, situated about forty rods north-west of the College building, 
on the banks of ' Owl creek,' alias Vernon river. I spent three 
months of the winter of 1828, in Perry township, teaching the good 
people's children. My terms of tuition were $2,00 per scholar for 
three months, payable in corn at ten cents per bushel, and wheat at 
twenty-five cents per bushel. I had a school of eighty scholars and 
upward. My recompense in corn and wheat all went to Kenyon t» 
pay for my board and tuition. The College was not completed t« 
receive inhabitants till about three months before I received mj 
degree ; consequently, during all my college course, I lived in tem- 
porary buildings, except three months." 



Bishop Chase's Defense. 

After Bishop Chase returned from England, one Gr. M. West 
insinuated himself into the good graces of Lords Kenyon and 
Gambler, and came to this country upon their recommendation, for 
the purpose of receiving Holy Orders. Soon after his ordination., 
West, under the title of Chaplain to the Bishop of Ohio, went to 
England, to superintend the further collection of funds for Kenyo« 
College. After his return to this country in 1830, it not only ap- 
peared that he was entirely unworthy of confidence himself, but he 
originated the most grievous charges against Bishop Chase. This. 
though painful, was most opportune. The dollars from "friends," 
in answer to the Bishop's earnest appeal, began to be few and far 
between. Kenyon still needed funds, and unless some untoward 
event had occurred. Bishop Chase even would have been at a lose 
what to do. But now he so completely vindicated himself and his 
acts, in a pamphlet addressed to Dr. Milnor, that many of his 
"friends" thought it time to send him another ^^ dollar.'' Accord- 
ingly, the following sums were received during the years 1830 and 
1831.

Thus closes the record of Bishop Chase's labors, and their results. 
in founding a Theological Seminary and College. He probably 
had no superior in all the qualities necessary to originate such an 
institntion. The versatility of his manners was snch, that he could 
adapt himself readily to any condition of society. Whether he 
were in the log cabin of Ohio, where the whole family slept, ate. 
cooked, received guests and lodged them, in the same apartment, or 
in the magnificent halls of Lord Kenyon, suiTOunded with the 
refinement of the old world. Bishop Chase was eqnally at home, 
and capable of winning golden opinions. Add to this an energy 
that never fiagged. a will that never succumbed, and a physical 
system that never tired, and we have such a character as is seldom 
produced, but which was precisely adapted to the great work that 
he accomplished. Bishop Chase was equally remarkable for indus- 
try and endurance. Daylight seldom found him in bed, and he 



87 

seemed as fond of working or traveling in the rain, as tliougli 
water were his native element. He would preach at Perry, fifteen 
miles from Gambier, and as soon as daylight peeped in the East on 
Monday morning, take his bridle himself, go to the field, catch Cin- 
cinnatus, mount and be off to set his head-men at work in Gambier, 
Bishop Chase began a work for the Church in Ohio, and in truth 
for the whole West, such as no other man then living would have 
attempted, or probably could have accomplished. 



Bishop McIlvaine's Appeal for Funds in 1833. 

In 1832 Bishop McTlvaine undertook the care of the Diocese and 
Seminary. The first step necessary to put the Institution in a 
working condition, was to provide the means of erecting buildings. 
All except the one college edifice, 110 by 40, and the kitchen 
part of one professors's residence, were temporary structures, and 
have since entirely disappeared. After Bishop Chase left, and 
before Bishop Mcllvaine came, something had been done in the 
way of building, but nothing to provide means, except the sale of 
lands; and the avails of these were needed to pay debts. In truth, 
as yet, only the foundation of the Seminary was laid. The super- 
structure must be reared. For this Bishop Mcllvaine made an 
appeal to his friends, and the friends of the Church, in the East. 
The following is the result :

cese OF Ohio, to aid in the Erection of New Buildings, 
obtained by the Rt. Rev. C. P. McIlvaine, D. D., in 1833.

A Temporary Professorship in the Theological 
Seminary. 

While the preceding collections were in progress, another import- 
ant object was accomplished, mainly in New York and Brooklyn : 
viz., to provide for a five year's Professorship in the Theological 
Seminary. It was by this means that, in connection with the Mil- 
nor Professorship, the organization of the Theological Seminary 
was first completed. Till now the Rev. Dr. Sparrow, sustained in 
part by the Milnor Professorship, devoted his time mainly to aca- 
demical instruction. In 1833, however, classes were organized in 
the Seminary, and regular recitations begun. The Rev. Dr. Spar- 
row being Milnor Professor of Systematic Divinity, and the Rev. 
Dr. Muenscher Professor of Biblical Literature. 

The following is from the subscription list, on which $1,220 is

subscmption for bitilding a hofse, at grambier, for the 
Bishop of the Diocese. 

At Bisliop Cliase's settlement with the Trustees, in 1829. the sum 
of $3,037 was found to be due to him. Of this sum he gave |2,000 
to the Institution, 81,000 of which was on condition that it be 
applied toward building a house for the Bishop of the Diocese, upon 
a site to be designated by himself. The site was not designated, 
and the building not erected. 

Upon the consecration of Bishop McIlTaiae, an unsuccessful 
effort -was made in the diocese to raise funds for this purpose, and 
although only the following sums were obtained, a house was erected 
for the Bishop, by the Institution :

Collection in Ohio by Eev. Dr. Sparrow, in 1839. 

It is well known that buildings commonly cost more than is an- 
ticipated. So it was at G-ambier. When the buildings were com- 
pleted, for which funds had been solicited in 1833, there was a debt 
of some $16,000, and there seemed no way to meet it, unless the 
Church in Ohio could be persuaded to do its share of the work. 
This, the Trustees determined to attempt. The Eev. Dr. Sparrow 
was requested to undertake the agency; and, considering the pe- 
cuniary depression of the times, and the partial application made, 
the effort was successful. 

The whole sum subscribed was $7,348 82, of which $605 25 was 
cash, and the balance in notes of hand, which have been paid only 
in part, and some after years of delay. 

The names of those prompt men who paid cash are not now to be 
found. The following is an account of the notes, so far as they 
appear to have been paid :

A Second Effusion of English Benevolence. 

In the year 1835, Bishop Mcllvaine made a visit to England; 
and, as was quite natural when there, sought the society of those 
clergy of the English Church with whom he more particularly 
sympathized. It was the practice, at that time, of some of the Lon- 
don clergy, to the number of about one hundred, to meet statedly 
at Islington, for the purpose of clerical conference and communion, 
and for social prayer. Rev. Daniel Wilson, then recently made 
Bishop of Calcutta, and the Bev. Thomas Hartwell Home, were 
among the number. 

To this meeting Bishop Mcllvaine was invited; and when there, was 
asked to give an account of the condition and prospects of religion in 
his own country and Diocese. In doing so, our Bishop spoke of the 
" vastly greater increase of population than of clergy ; and how many 
of the inhabitants of those destitute regions are emigrants from Eng- 
land, accustomed once to the green pastures of our parent Church." 
After alluding to the tide of immigration by which this wonderful 
growth has been effected, as still flowing and still swelling, and 
stating that such is the extent of new land to be occupied, and such 



44 

the fertility of the soil in general, that population may continue for 
a long time to flow on at its present ratio of increase, without a 
check from deficiency of room, or of maintenance. He urged it 
as an interesting and affecting consideration to Christians of Great 
Britain, that a very large part of this living stream is directly from 
among themselves. " Not only is the Popery of those regions 
transplanted, in a great measure, by settlers from the United King- 
dom, but among the hundreds of thousands for whom the ministry 
is to be supplied, * * Protestant Englishmen and Protestant 
Irishmen, with their families, are every-where seen, sometimes in 
colonies almost by themselves, at other times mixed up with people 
from other countries ; but every-where entreating him most earnestly 
to send them the ministry, with the ordinances to which they were 
once accustomed." This was listened to by the assembled clergy 
with profound attention. 

Then the Lord Bishop of Calcutta asked our Bishop what he 
would have them do, or rather what they could do for him and his 
Diocese? Though our Bishop had not intended to appeal to the 
liberality of the British public, yet when thus generously pressed, 
he suggested the need of a building expressly for theological stu- 
dents. 

Accordingly, a plan, with minute working drafts and a papier 
mache model, was gotten up by Mr. Henry Roberts, a London Archi- 
tect ; after which plan Baxley Hall has been erected at Gambler, 
with funds obtained chiefly in England; a building, the beauty of 
which has not been surpassed by any of like dimensions in Ohio.

N. B. — The name of the one through whom a donation is made, is not in all 
■cases put down, and small sums, anonymous, have, in some cases, been grouped 
together. 



The reader will notice with pleasure how much of the collecting 
for benevolent objects is done in England by voluntary agents, 
occupying prominent positions in society. 

In addition to the above, Bishop Mcllvaine, in his address to the 
Convention, in 1835, mentioned the receipt of 1,902 volumes for

the Library, from friends in England. The venerable 3lrs. Han-- 
nail 3Iore. at the close of life, remembered Ohio, and bequeathed to 
Sir Thomas Ac-land £200, in trust for its Bishop; the particular 
object to be designated by her executor. It was designated as the- 
foundation for a scholarship in the Theological Seminary, the inter- 
est being always applicable to the support of a student in that 
department. 

This visit of Bishop 31cllvaine resulted in the following pleasing 
interchange of sentiment between the members of the English Uni- 
versities and those of our own Seminary and College : 

To THE Right Ee-yehej;d Gharl-es P. McIlvaizce, D. D., Bishop of Onie.- 

AND PeESIDE>-T 0? KeXTOX CoLLEGE. IX THE r^'ITED StaTES OF AmEEICA. 

E'ffht Reverend Sir — The mider signed, Bachelors and Undergraduates 
of the University of Oxford, ha^e learned with cordial sympathy the objects- 
cf your mission to this country. 

Ourselves participators in the blessings of an University, founded by the 
liberality and piety of our common ancestors, we can not but take a deep 
interest in the progress of an institution which, under circumstances of 
greater dif&cnlty, is entering in a distant land on ihe same course of religious- 
and useful learning. 

Nor is it forgotten by us, that Kenyon College, no less than cur own vener- 
able University, is intimately connected with the Protestant Episcopal Church. 
"We rejoice to kno^, that its religious instruction is superintended by a Branch 
of the Church of Christ, which we esteem it a privilege to greet as the daugh- 
ter of our Apostolical Establishment. And we reflect with the kindest feel- 
ings of Christian fellowship, that in one faith, one language, and one form of 
expression, our brother Students in Ohio and ourselves daily worship the 
God of our Fathers. 

With such sentiments we are anxious to offer to you, sir, and the members of 
Kenyon College, the assurance of a sympathy, which we trust will not be 
unacceptable to them, by contributing tovrard the erection of the proposed 
Theological College. 

In requesting you to be the channel through which we may convey these 
feelings, we desire to join with them an expression of the regret and esteem 
•with which we regard your own character as a Theologian and a Christian 
Bishop. Earnestly do we pray, that it may please God to give you a prosper- 
ous journey to your native land; and long to preserve the blessings of your 
oyersight to His Church, where amid the increasing labors of your Diocese, 
and the arduous struggle that is prepared for the Members of the College over 
which you preside, we venture to hope that You and They will sometimes 



61 

remembei' with pleasure, that " we have wished you good luck, ye that are of 
thC/House of the Lord." 

We have the honor to remain, Right Reverend Sir, with every sentiment 
of esteem and respect, your attached and faithful Servants,

WILLIAM BE A DOW HEATHCOTE, S. C. L. New College, 
And two hundred and eighty-six others, Members and Undergraduates 
of eighteen different Colleges. 

Trinity College, Cambridge, May 25, 1835. 
My Dear Friend — On your leaving England to return to your arduous 
duties in Ohio, there are many here who wish to express to you the deep 
interest they feel in your welfare, and in the prosperity of your College and 
Diocese, We desire particularly to cherish the feelings of our entire oneness 
with those churches in the United States, which the Lord has intrusted to your 
oversight; and we would assure them, through you, of our affe<5tionate sym- 
pathy and regard. We are attached to them, not merely as Christians who 
love and serve the satrie Lord and Saviour; but as Brethren, descended from 
the same ancestors, who speak the same language, adopt the same articles and 
ritual, and acknowledge the same orders. 

We thank God, also, for his abundant mercy vouchsafed to them of late in 
the outpouring of His Holy Spirit; for the revival among them of sound and 
fervent piety ; and for their zealous and devoted efforts in the cause of missions. 

We earnestly pray that these great blessings may long be experienced by 
them; and that stimulated by their example, and seeking in the same spirit, 
we may ourselves in due season be visited by the same mercies — that our col- 
leges may become seminaries at once of sound learning and religious educa- 
tion; and that our beloved Church' may be yet, rnore than ever, a blessing and 
a praise in our land. 

Retaining as we do the most affectionate remembrance of your late visit to 
our University, and accompanying you with our best wishes in all your labors 
for the Lord, we can not but request your prayers in return, that the Lord of 
the Harvest may bless tbe good seed which He permitted you to sow here; 
and that many laborers may be sent out from the midst of us into the wide 
harvest of the world. 

Thus may our respective countries be one in blessings — in labors — and in 
love, — and animated, henceforth, with the only rivalry of holy zeal for the 
glory of our common Lord, may we provoke one another to love and to good 
works, and put fortli our united energies to the spreading of the knowledge of 
the Redeemer's love. 

Believe me, my dear friend, ever yourf<, very affectionately in Christian 
bonds, 

WILLIAM CARUS. 
To the Right Rev, Bp, McIlvaine.

We beg to express to Bishop Mcllvaine our concurrence in the sentiments 
of the foregoing letter. 

Signed, C. SIMEON, 11. A., of King s College, 

CHAELES PERRY, M. A., Fellow and Assistant 
Tutor of Trirdiy College, 
And eighty-seven others, Members and Undergraduates of thirteen 
different Colleges. 

The follovring is the answer of the Students of Kenyon Col- 
lege to the Uniyersity of Oxford — that to Cambridge being to the 
same effect. 
To Messes. Geoege Teetor, J. E. Giles, and Othees, Bacheloes and 

UxDEEGEAnrATES OF THE UxiYERSITT OF OxFCED. 

Gentlemen — The undersigned, Students in Theologv, and Undergraduateg 
of Kenyon College, have received through our President, the Rt. Rev. Bp. 
Mcllvaine. the expression of your affectionate dispositions to^rard us. and the 
Institutions of which y,Q are members. 

Rightly have you judged that such a token of your sympathy would not be 
unacceptable. Standing as we do, almost on the western limit of civil-zation. 
in North America, it would be strange indeed did vre not receive 'vvith the 
most kindly feelings a salutation so fraternal, sent across the broad Atlantic, 
from the Bachelors and Undergraduates of your venerable University. 

We bear in mind that while our Alma Mater is but of yesterday, yours is, 
in antiquity, second only to one other, and yields in no other particular to 
any; and that vrhile you number your thousands of fellow-students, ^ve can 
not even count our hundreds. But together with this thought, your commu- 
nication suggests and cherishes in our hearts the hope that, in time to come, 
men will regard our present small beginnings, as we now look back to the 
etate of things at Oxford, when your predecessors, in the days of Alfred, began 
their labors. 

We are led also, by your salutation, to recognize and feel the importance 
of our position. As Oxford, once small and feeble, has long been a blessing 
to the ends of the earth, why may it not be believed, that Kenyon is called to 
the same high destiny; and through the smiles of God upon the encour- 
agement and aid of our British friends, and upon our own vigorous exer- 
tions, vrill yet fulfil it. The world is before us all, as the vride and inviting 
field of benevolent exertion ; and it is our desire, as being one vrith you in 
origin, language, literature, and religion — having "one Lord, one faith, one 
baptism'" — to be one also in all the great eflbrts of Christian enterprise. And 
should Kenyon become, in the Providence of God, a source of blessing, in any 
measure, to this continent, it vrill be no small gratification to her sons, that 
multitudes from the very country Tvhich so generously helped to lay her 
foundations and erect her walls, will be partakers in the benefit, and thus 
enjoy some of the privileges of learning and religion, the loss of which is so 



63 

keenly felt by the intelligent British emigrants. We are bound, also, to say, 
that to the exercise of such feelings we are incited, in addition to the consid- 
erations mentioned, by your affectionate sympathy, and that of many others, 
with our Kt. Rev. President, during his recent anxious mission to Great 
Britain, From his own lips, publicly and privately, we have heard of the 
many kind offices toward him on the part of our English brethren, and of 
their earnet desires for his success; and have felt it all as if it had been per- 
sonal to ourselves. 

Allow us then, gentlemen, to conclude this note with the expression of our 
best wishes for your individual happiness, and with the utterance of a fervent 
prayer, that amid the changes which are multiplying so rapidly throughout 
the world, a desecrating foot may never be allowed to enter your learned 
retreats ; but that Oxford may ever stand unimpaired in her resources, and 
undiminished in her glory, the patroness of literature, and the champion of all 
Scriptural truth and order, uniting with her deep erudition the same spirit of 
brotherly kindness and charity which breathes in your communication to 
Kenyon College. 

We are, Gentlemen, with sincere respect, 

Your Friends and Brethren. 



The Crisis of 1842. 

The sum oontributed in England, $12,370, after defraying tlie 
Bishop's expenses, was to be sacredly applied to the building of 
Bexley Hall. It afforded, therefore, no relief from an oppressive 
debt. The collection in Ohio, by Dr. Sparrow, was only enough to 
discharge pressing claims, and keep down interest for a short time. 

Still, had usual prosperity attended the Institution, its credit 
might have been sustained some time longer. But about the year 
1840, several untoward events occurred. There was a gradual fall- 
ing off of students from the South, and from the pecuniary depres- 
sion of the times, and other causes, not enough presented themselves 
from the North and West to fill their places. Beceipts from tuition 
were therefore very much diminished, while salaries and other 
expenses remained nearly the same as before. 

Some revenue had been realized from the land, of which about 
1,500 acres were under improvement: but there were so many 
drawbacks and losses, that in a scries of years the actual amount 
was small. 

In 1840 a change was made with a view of realizing a profit from 
grazing and raising cattle and sheep. But after expensive stock 



54 

had been purchased; a dry season cut off the means of heeping it, 
and it was necessary to sell, at a great loss, to save life. There 
were those who hlamed this experiment ; but perhaps they would 
not have done so. if it had been attempted at a time when stock 
was rising, instead of falling, and when feed was plenty, instead of 
scarce. At such a time it might have cleared off the whole debt: 
but as it was, the profitf went the wrong way. 

Disastrous as this attempt was. it is perhaps well that it was tried, 
and equally well that it failed. As it is. the Trustees of Kenyon 
College, having tried in every way that appeared feasible, for twenty 
years, to make their farm sustain the Institution, and found it con- 
stantly sinking in debt, at length (some ten years since), came to 
the conclusion, that a religious corporation can not conduct a farm 
to advantage. 

From the operation of the above causes, the year 1842 was the 
most gloomy one in the whole history of the Institution. The debt 
of Prime,- Ward &: King, then nearly 820.000. was pressing for 
liquidation. The land was mortgaged to secure it; and as financial 
affairs were then, the whole domain would scarcely more than have 
paid the debt. 

It seemed a most inauspicious time to appeal to the public for 
aid, but it was determined to try: this being the only resource for 
saving the property of the Institution. Id this emergency, onr 
good Bishop put on the harness, and girded himself for the work 
of begging. An appeal, called ■■ An Eurn':d Wordy was issued, the 
style and purport of which, as well as the purpose for which aid was 
asked, may be learned from the fcllowiDg extract : -' The 4.000 acres 
of land making the endowment, in the center of which the build- 
ings stand, the rents of which are depended on for support. ^ ^ 
are considered worth in common times from £0 to 100,000 dollars. 
The buildings owned by the Institution, thereupon, are estimated 
as worth at least 75,000 dollars. The latter, of course, are of no use 
for the payment of debt. They are worth nothing but for a college. 
We must keep them or perish. The landed endowment is all that 
could be used for the payment of debt. Suppose it sold? It must 
all be sold to raise money enough in these times to meet the case ; 
or, at the very best, so larg-e a part (and that the most valuable) 
must be sold, as entirely to ruin the endowment."— J./i Earne&i 
Word, p. 4.

The Rev. Mr. Lounsbiiry was employed as an agent to present 
itlie cause in Ohio, and he and the Hev. Mr. Clark to assist Bishop 
M'cllvaine at the East. 

The application to raise money to save the endowment of the 
"Theological Seminary of Ohio and Kenyon College succeeded well, 
as the following subscription lists will show. This successful effort 
has rightly conferred on Bishop Mcllvaine the title of Second 
Founder of the Institution — a work really more trying than had 
<ever yet been undertaken for Kenyon College. 

The following is copied and arranged from the original subscrip- 
tion-book belonging to Bishop Mcllvaine :

This last item, together Tvith the donations of Dr. Hooe and his 
sister, Mrs. Stuart, of Ya., amounting in all to $3,456 75, were not 
included in Bishop Mcllvaine's account in 1843, because, though 
these sums belong to the results of the same efiort, the money was 
not received by him, and had not been realized at the time. 

The net result of this effort, including 8130 from Ohio, was the 
sum of $29,51G 60. 

After the final report of Bishop Mcllvaine, of the results of this 
eolleetion, the following resolutions were passed by the Board of 
Trustees, being appended to a report of a committee, which concludes 
thus : 

" The widow's mite and the rich man's gift have each been cheer- 
fully thrown into the treasury, and the donors have thus, we trust, 



61 

lent to the Lord that which he will repay them. The Bishop's 
account of his stewardship is full and satisfactory. He went forth 
literally without money and without scrip, hut his trust was in the 
Lord, from whom conieth every good and perfect gift. The result 
has been already stated, and it only remains for the committee to 
submit the following resolutions : 

" 1. Resolved^ That the Board does, and will ever cherish, a most 
grateful recollection af the generous kindness of our eastern breth- 
ren and friends, who, in our hour of need, have so largely helped 
the great interests of Christian education in this Diocese ; and the 
Secretary is hereby directed to preserve and file, among the archives 
of the Theological Seminary at Gambler, the statement book and 
vouchers now communicated by the Bishop, exhibiting the sources 
from whence the generous aid was received, and the uses made of it. 

"2. Resolved further^ That our Bt .Bev. Bishop Mcllvaine has 
most ably and faithfully discharged the laborious and highly-import- 
ant trust thus devolved upon him. And this Board have heard 
with inexpressible pleasure, from other reliable sources at the East, 
that this arduous duty was performed, not only with signal ability, 
but with a Christian spirit and zeal which, under his Master's direc- 
tion, made many new friends for the vast interests under his 
charge. 

" 3. Resolved further^ That this Board hereby assure the Bishop 
that they entertain a most grateful sense of the valuable and import- 
ant services which he has rendered, not only to the Theological 
Seminary, and to the College, but to the great interests of the 
Church in this Diocese. And while the Bishop declines all pecu- 
niary remuneration, nothing having, been retained therefor beyond 
his mere personal expenses, the Trustees do insist, and hereby most 
respectfully beg him to retain and keep, for his own use, the small 
balance, ($207 16,) which, as before stated, he has reported as unex- 
pended and subject to order, and for that purpose the Secretary is 
hereby directed to make out and deliver to the Bishop, in the name 
and behalf of this Board, the proper receipt and voucher. All 
which is respectfully submitted." 

Wm. Key Bond, Chairman.

Of the above subscription, the sums marked * were subscriptions 
for which scrip was issued, entitling the bearer to an equivalent in 
tuition, or, after five years, to demand the money. Hence $3,150 
of the above was a loan, and has since been accounted for, leaving 
the Ohio donation of 1843, $5,785.39, which, added to the sum 
obtained at the East, makes the whole result of the effort of 1843, 
$35,302; and deducting $302 for expense of collecting $8,911.39 
in Ohio, leaves it $35,000. So much was obtained from a benevo- 
lent public to save the endowment of these Institutions. 



Scholarship Fund, obtained in 1850, by Rev. J. Muen- 

SCIIER, D. D. 

In the year 1850, a subscription was taken up in Ohio, amount- 
ing to $11,924, called a " Suhscription to Scholarship Fund.'' It 
was intended by this effort to found a professorship by the sale of 
scholarships. The condition was that the subscriber on paying 
$200 should receive a certificate entitling the holder to tuition in 
any department of the Institution. Upon this subscription was 
collected the sum of $5,600, and certificates therefor have been 
issued. This is, in effect, a loan, on which interest is payable in 
tuition. 

A few subscribers, having paid in part, compromised by surren- 
dering their claim to scholarships, and thus obtained a release 



66 

from payment of the balance. TThat was paid, therefore, should be 

considered as donations. These sums are as follows: 

Bishop Mcllvaine S133 33

Library and Apparatus. 

The Catalogue of the Theological Seminary and College, for 
1860, makes the following statement respecting Libraries: 

The Libraries to which the students have access are as follows, 
viz : 

1. The Library of the Seminary and College, containing 6.500 
volumes. 

2. That of the Philomathesian Society, containing 3.527 volumes. 

3. That of the Xu Pi Kappa Society, containing 3,357 volumes. 

The Libraries of the Societies have been accumulated and 
mainly given by the students themse'ves. To name the donors 
would require a catalogue of a greater part of all the students that 
have ever been connected with the Institution. 

Of the donors to the Library of the Seminary it will be prac- 
ticable here to name only a few. 

Through Bishops Chase and Mcllvaine, extensive and valuable 
collections of books were received from England. 

P. G. Stuveysant, of iXew York, besides liberal subscriptions 
otherwise, gave Sl.OOO in money to increase the library. 

Charles D. Betts, of Xew York, left, for charitable purposes, in 
the hands of Dr. Anthon, the sum of SI, 000. This sum was given 
by him, the interest of which is to be applied, under the direction 
of the Faculty, to the purchase of Theological books. 

Bollin Sandford, Esq., and Messrs. Carter & Brothers, of N. Y., 
have more recently presented some eighty volumes each, of valu- 
able books. 

It will not be practicable here to name all the valuable gifts that 
have been made to aid the scientific departments of the College. 



•67 

ill addition to the gifts received from England, already mentioned, 
0. L. Boalt, Esq., of Norwalk, in 1849, gave $100, and Rev. C. C. 
5*inckney, of South Carolina, gave $200 to fit up a laboratory. 
These gifts were very opportune, and received with special thank- 
fulness, because they came when few were disposed to give. 

Since then, a choice portable cabinet of utensils for testing iniii- 
6rals has been received from Rev. S. A. Bronson, and a telescope 
and transit instrument from Rev. Peter Neff, jr. These instruments 
presented to the Observatory were, an Achromatic Telescope, seven 
and a half inches diameter, eight and a half feet focal length, 
mounted equatorially, furnished with clock movement and various 
eye-pieces. It is now mounted under the revolving dome, in the 
tower of " Ascension Hall." Also, a Transit instrument, made by 
E. & a. W. Blunt, of New York. The Telescope (two inches 
aperture, and about two feet focal length) is a very accurate and 
finely-made instrument. 

As the above gifts are specific, and were appropriated by the 
donors, and are now in a shape in which thfeir value can not be 
measured by money, they will not hereafter be embraced in allasion 
to general receipts into the treasury. 



A Second Crisis. 

From 1840 to 1850, the whole Institution was v«ry much de- 
pressed. It possessed a large amount of property, but it was mainly 
in land. Its value was not less than $100,000, as has been proveia 
by subsequent sales ; and though every expedient had been tried to 
ttiake it productive, the most that could be realized from it was 
about $1,500 per annum. Of this sum, $900 per annum were re- 
■quired to pay interest, and $500 for taxes. Rents were accruing to 
•the amount of about $1,200 yearly, on dwellings owned by the 
Institution. But on buildings that had stood fifteen or twenty 
years, a large part of the rents would be required in repairs. 

In a financial condition so depressed, with Professors the fewest 
possible, and those on half pay, very tardily received, it is no won- 
der that students were few, and that the streams of benevolence 
that had so often watered Kenyon, were nearly dried up. The 
present writer, in asking for aid at one time, was told in effect, 
"You have a plenty of land, use that." The hint was taken, and 



tlie matter of a sale urged as tlie only possible hope en' relie£ 
This measure was first recommended by the Faculty, and then, after 
mature deliberation, by the Conyention of Ohio ; and very soon 
after 1850, nearly half of the land was sold. 

Now a brighter day dawned upon Kenyon. The debt was paid 
aff, credit restored, and the officers were promptly paid ; so that the 
best talents the country afforded could now be commanded for 
Kenyon College. President Andrews was soon after appointed, 
who has no superior in ability to conduct an institution of learning^, 
and so to adapt it to the wants of the country, as to command and 
deserve an extensive patronage. 

Fears have sometimes been expressed, that the College is over- 
shadowing the Theological Seminary. But present results prove 
conclusively, that the life of the College and Preparatory School i& 
the life of the Theological Seminary. Through these there ever 
has, and probably ever will, come the main supply of candidates for 
the ministry, and, consequently, of students for the Seminary. The- 
interests of both are identical, and what aids one will benefit the 
other. 

From the very time of a change of the property of the Sem- 
inary, from an unproductive to a productive form, confidence and 
kind feeling toward it have, been increasing. 

Dr. Muenscher had little difficulty in selling scholarships to the 
amount of nearly 812j000. This was, doubtless, a judicious move, 
as it aided in bringing in students when they were most needed. 

The year 1851 brought another favorable token. The Eev. Gr. T. 
Brooke, D. !>., was appointed agent to solicit funds for a new Pro- 
fessorship. He entered upon his work, and had proceeded so far 
as to obtain the following donations : 

Rev. E. H. Canfield, D. D., New York $100 

Hon. D. K. Este, Cincinnati 100 

R. H. Marshall, Esq , 100 

W. W. Corcoran, Esq., Washington City 100 

A lady, Frederick, Md ^ 100 

Christ Church, Baltimore 100 

Mr. Bash, " 100 

Mr. Carrol, « , 25 

At this point the agent was most unexpectedly arrested in hti» 
course, and an end was put to his further solicitations. Here was 
a " new thing under the sun," at least for Kenyon. In the Theo- 



m 



logical Seminary at Alexandria, (a noble rival to fhat in Ohio, in 
the cause of Evangelical truth,) was a gentle and somewhat retiring 
young man, himself a student, by the name of Archibald Morri- 
son. This young man encountered the agent with a spirit which 
our persevering friend, Dr. Brooke, was unprepared to resist, and in 
a very unobtrusive way, gave the whole sum of $10,000, and thus 
founded the Griswold Professorship in the Theological Seminary of 
the Diocese of Ohio. 

The impulse now given to the Seminary, of which the above was 
both an evidence and a cause, made it necessary to provide addi- 
tional rooms for Theological students. This want was met by the 
effort to complete the remaining half of Bexley Hall. The follow- 
ing list will show whence the funds for this purpose were derived :

This sum, last mentioned, was given some time before the rest, 
to fit up a room for a very worthy colored student, who has lately 
taken orders. 

The following sums have also been given, at various times, to 
furnish rooms in Bexley Hall ; the room being named from the 
source whence its furniture was supplied.

The funds for the last four were solicited from various sources 
by Mrs. Mcllvaine. 

In the course of this gratifying progress, there was an equally 
increasing demand for funds ; and as this demand increased more 



m 



rapidly than the supply, extraordinary efforts were made by the 
Trustees themselves to make up the deficiency. The following 
will show the self-sacrifice of the Trustees, and members of the 
Convention, in order to make the income meet the expenses of the 
Institution. 

Donations for this purpose were often made at meetings of the. 
Board, and once in Convention, as follows :

Ascension Hall, and New Professorships. 
About the year 1855, it became evident that increased accommo-' 
dations would soon be needed for College students." This was 
deemed a just ground of applications for friendly aid from abroad. 
With the demand for more room, also arose a demand for an 
increase of Professors. To obtain such aid, and meet these demands^ 
Bishop Mcllvaine issued the following 

Statement and Appeal in Behalf of Kenyon College. 

Bishop McIlvaine solicits the kind attention of his friends, and all who 
desire the extension of our Church in the West, to the following respectful 
appeal and statement. It is in behalf of Kenyon College, situated at Gam- 
bier, Ohio, under Trustees appointed by the Convention of that Diocese, and 
devoted to the promotion of Christian Education, and more especially to that 
of candidates for the ministrj, in the Episcopal Church. For convenience- 
sake, we here speak of the College and connected Theological Seminary, botb 
of them at Gambier, and essentially united under the same Trustees and incor- 
poration, under the one name of Kenyon College; because, although the cor- 
porate name is "Theological Seminary of the Diocese of Ohio," the other is the 
name most familiar to the public. 

It Is not to deliver this institution from debt, that aid is now sought. Ther.^-

is no debt. But there is an unprecedented prosperity, and hence arises the 
present necessity. The present accommodations are so occupied with students, 
that there is room for only a very few more. The number o^ undergraduates is 
between one hundred and forty and one hundred and fifty. It is a remarka- 
ble and cheering fact, that of that number seventy-seven are communicants, 
forty of whom are preparing to enter, when they graduate, on theological 
study for the ministry, while there is reason to expect that of the remainder, 
many will make up their minds in the same direction. In these times of need 
as to laborers in God's vineyard, how encouraging and important these facts. 

Never before has Kenyon College been the object of so much attention. 
East and West, as an institution to be relied on by the members of our Church 
for the education of their sons. Never has there been so strong and wide a 
feeling, among clergy and laity, that Kenyon College, however local aud dio- 
cesan as to its control, is national as to its importance, and the usefulness to 
be expected from it, and the interest that should center upon it. In truth, 
the importance of that institution to the whole Church is measured only by 
that of having an evangelical ministry of our Church extended far and wide 
over all the States and Territories of the West. And hence the feeling is 
becoming very strong, that there is no object, connected with our duty as a 
Church, which should more engage the regard and liberal gifts of our people 
than the strengthening and enlargement of the facilities of Kenyon College, to 
place it on such a footing, as to adequate number of professors, accommoda- 
tions for students, and the various means and conveniences for instruction, in 
all branches, that it may fully occupy the place to which it is called in the 
providence of God, that it may meet, satisfy, and retain, instead of disappoint- 
ing and causing to react, the present incoming of public favor and expec- 
tation. 

Then, what does Kenyon College need ? We answer, Means of enlargement. 
In what? 

First. In the number of its professorships. 

It needs endowment for two professorships — one in the Theological Depart- 
ment; the other in the Undergraduate Course. It takes all the increase of 
income which the Trustees have been able to make, to meet the great increase 
which a few years have made in the cost of living, and consequently in the 
cost of supporting the instruction of the Institution on its old footing, as to the 
number of professors, etc. It has no income beyond its annual expenses. 
Enlargement, however demanded, is out of the question, without assistance. 
We ask, therefore, for aid at the hands of our brethren, in the endowment of 
two professorships, at a salary of $1,000 each, which, at 7 per cent., requires 
for each the sum of $15,000. 

Secondly. Enlargement in buildings. 

We need an additional building for the accommodation of more students. 
Scarcely auy increase of students can now be received, while much is now 
promised, aud much more is confidently expected. 



72 

TVe need another buiMing for all the public purposes of the College, con- 
taining a suitable chapel for daily morning and evening prayers (the present 
place for such a purpose being unsuitable in the extreme) ; containing, also, 
accommodations for a chemical laboratory, for a philosophical cabinet and 
lectures, and rooms for all recitations and lectures. At present these objects 
are provided for most inconveniently and defectively, to the great detriment 
of the rei)utution of the Institution, and contraction of its usefulness. 

Thirdly. Enlargement as to means of instruction. 

Suitable apparatus for instruction in Chemistry, in Natural Philosophy, and 
other departments of physical science, is absolutely needed. 

Fourthly. The means of providing residences for two professors. 

All these objects, on a moderate estimate, •will require from $05,000 to 
$70,000 — an amount not great compared with the magnitude and permanence 
of the end to be attained — not great compared with what is readily raised by 
our brethren of other Christian churches in this country, for the seminaries 
and colleges under their control. 

Without multiplying words, the undersigned respectfully seeks of his 
brethren of the laity the means of accomplishing the objects above specified. 
What better thing can be done for our Church extension, and our great work 
of thereby promoting the advancement of the Gospel, by means of the labors 
of an educated and faithful ministry ? What better can be done by the 
East for the vast outspreading of the West, and its rapid growth of popula- 
tion ; what better for the glory of God and the good of man? The under- 
signed is the more bold to ask this aid, because in having given himself (and 
for many years under most heavy burdens of difficulty and anxiety,) to the 
same cause, he has not omitted to take a larger share of its service than he 
asks now of any of his brethren. Those who are so kind as to be ready to 
help, can transmit to the undersigned, at Cincinnati, by mail, or can make 
their Rector their agent for that purpose — making their own terms of pay- 
ment, provided that the time, as to individual subscriptions, be not over three 

years from date. 

CHARLES P. McTLVAINE, 

Bishop of the Diocese of Ohio.

Of the last above, to this date, July 1, 1860, the sum of 84407.- 
84 has been paid. 

When the above subscriptions had progressed thus far, another 
most agreeable surprise occurred. 

Mr. J. D. "Wolfe and -wife, and Mrs. Spencer, the sister of Mrs. 
W., of "West Chester, N, Y., whose names the reader of this will find 
oft repeated in this record, and whose venerable father, just before 
his decease, gave $6000 to the Bishop of Ohio, for the benefit of 
aged and infirm clergymen, in this diocese, unitedly founded a pro- 
fessorship in Kenyon College, giving, together, 816,000. This was 
accordingly named by the Trustees, the Lorillard & Wolfe Profes- 
sor sTiip. 

Nearly at the same time with these expressions of good will, the 
benevolent John Johns, of Baltimore County, M. D., departed this 
life. His name, too, was often on the subscription lists for Kenyon 
College, and in his will, through the special good offices of the late 
lamented Dr. Johns, he made the generous bequest to the Institu- 
tion of $15,000. This came not as a result, but among the results of 
the "Statement and Appeal" issued November, 1856. 

They will, therefore, sum up as follows : 

Donation to St. George's Hall ; S 3,282 50 

Ascension Hall Subscription... 10,252 00 

Toward a New York Professorship ^. &,666 00 

Toward Bedell Professorship, collected 1860 4,407 00 

The Lorillard & Wolfe Professorship 15,000 00 

The Johns' Legacy 15,000 00 



854,607 50 



All the above Professorship subscriptions are not yet collected, 
but enough has been realized to enable the Institution to establish 
two professorships, and proceed with Ascension Hall so far that we 
liave assurances it will be completed by the Church of the Ascen- 
sion, N. Y. 

The Strong Scholarship Fund. 

The Rev. E. A. Strong has, by permission of the Trustees, solic- 
ited scholarships of 8200 each, for the exclusive benefit of young 



75 

men studying for the ministry. The sum of $8,331 has heei^ 
received in this way, which, when it shall reach a certain amount^ 
is to be regarded as a foundation for a professorship. This, and the 
Muenscher scholarship funds, together, amount to $13,931. These, 
it is to be remembered, are not donations, but loans, on which a 
high intere&t is paid in the shape of tuition.

In reference to the above, the donors will of right ask what prop- 
erty and assets does the Institution now possess, to show that thesa 
funds have been judiciously expended. To this it may be said, in 
answer : 

1. Temporary buildings and improvements, that cost, at different 
times, upwards of $17,000, have long since passed away. They 
have been used up for the purposes intended, and have doubtless 
been worth, to the Church and the world, all they cost. Much also 
has been expended in the repairs of buildings in the course of 30 
years, that can not now be included in their present value. Should 
it be estimated, therefore, that $20,000 have been absorbed in this 



76 

way, and the statement be allowed the benefit of this deduction, it 
would be but fair and just. But this is not necessary. 

2. Abundant assets in real estate and vested funds remain on 
hand to more than equal in value every dollar that has been given 
to the Institution, 

The following statement, carefully prepared by a committee ap- 
pointed for the purpose, is an estimate of the present value of the 
property of the Board : 

Kenyon College 8 35,000 00 

Eosse Chapel 13,335 00 

Bexley Hall 17,195 00 

MilnorHall 7,000 00 

Ascension Hall 30,450 00 

Professors' Houses 17,500 00 

Other Dwellings 1,500 00

8282,980 00 
Deduct Donations, 235,047 45 

Balance .' $ 47,932 55 

One person, to whom the public are especially indebted for the 
safe keeping and accumulation of the funds of Kenyon College, 
ought here to be especially noted, viz : the Eev. Dr. Wing. Dur- 
ing the greater part of the time, for thirty years, in addition to the 
duties of a Professorship in the Seminary, he has been general and 
financial agent, and book-keeper. Through him, at difi"erent 
times, have been sold more than 7,000 acres of land, and not much 
less than 8100,000 have been expended in buildings under his di- 
rection. The management of the whole concern has, in fact, rested 
on his shoulders, and it is but just that in this Report the Trustees 
should emphatically say, " "Well done, good and faithful servant." 

In conclusion, let it be said, in behalf of the Trustees, Officers 
and Students, who have, during a third of a century past, been con- 
nected with our Diocesan Institution at G-ambier, in the name of 
the many souls that have here been born again, and are now rejoic- 
ing in Heaven : in the name of the many churches whose pulpits 
have been filled with Gospel preachers from this Institution ; in the 



77 

Bame of the millions yet to inhabit the valley of the Ohio, whc 
shall look up to Kenyon as the Cambridge or Oxford of the West, 
in tones of warmest thanks, may Heaven's richest blessing rest upon 
every donor. Honor to the poor man, woman or child, that has 
given a dime, as well as the rich who have given their thousands. 
The donor to this Institution who has given, or shall give or be- 
queath, for its advancement, what God has blessed him with here, 
but which he can not carry with him, will have built a monument 
more durable than marble or brass, a monument that will make his 
name loved as well as admired. 

N. B. In the course of thirty years many subscription-lists 
have been lost, and while the amounts were carefully retained on 
the books, at Gambler, the names of the donors have been lost 
aight of. If this Statement shall fall into the hands of any who 
can supply any instances of this kind, the Trustees will be grateful 
for the information. 



AX EXTRACT 

FROM THE WESTERN EPISCOPALIAX. OCT. 4. 1560. 

The Theological Department has sent forth ninety-one Ministers of tht 
Gospel, during the twenty-five years since its organization. 

Tyto hun'ired and seventy-six young men have graduated from Kenyon Col- 
lege during the thirty-three years since i--S foundation, of Trhoni ninety have 
become Ministers of the Gospel. 

It may safely be said that not less than one hundred and £fty vrho hare 
been students in these Institutions, have entered the ministry. Such a 
work have they done for the Church, though yet in their infancy, and hereto- 
fore struggling wi:h the difficulties incident to a nevr enterprise in a new 
country. But Kenyon College lias done more than educate pious young meSj 
who have become students in her various classes. By the blessing of God, 
■many Tvho commenced their course of pupilage here, unconcerned about the 
things of eternity, have gone forth into the world faithful, devoted Christian 
men ; some to preach the Gospel of Christ in this or foreign lands ; and others 
to labor for the same ^ood cause as earnest^ zealous laymen. During the last 
six years, ninety-seven students have gi^duated from Eenyon College ; of 
these, sixty-seven were communicants : thirty-two have entered upon the 
work of the ministry, or are candidates for orders, and thirty-six. by the con- 
certing power of the Holy Spirit, as we trust, were brought into the Church 
here. During the same time, including those who hare not graduated, fiftj"- 
Qine students have become communicants while connected with the Instittr- 
Hon. 

At the present writing, there are one hundred and ninety-four students in 
ftU the departments of the Institution, of whom ninety-four are commtmi- 
cants, and seventy are studying with a view to the ministry in our Church. 

The facts presented at-ove speak for themselves, and show that God has 
blessed these Institutions by the converting influences of the Holy Spirit; 



79 

and that He continues to own and sanctify the imeans employed to develop the 
minds and cultivate the hearts of the youth here assembled. 

The young Christian here enjoys many privileges to promote the growth'^of 
grace in his own heart, and many opportunities to labor for the cause of 
Christ. He is beyond the reach of many of the seductive influences of 
worldly amusements and fashionable vices ; he resides in a community made 
up almost entirely of members of our Church ; he has the association and 
sympathy of about one hundred young Christians, who, like himself, are stu- 
dents in the Institution; he is required to attend the full Morning and Even- 
ing Service, and hear two evangelical sermons each Sunday in Rosse Chapel ; 
he is invited to unite in the Service and listen to a Lecture each Thursday 
evening ; on each Tuesday evening the officers and students cf the Theologi- 
cal Seminary hold a Social Prayer Meeting in Bexley Hall ; the officers and 
students of the College meet for the same purpose in Ascension Hall, and tlie 
officers and students of the Grammar School, in Milnor Hall ; and in addi- 
tion to these, each class in College has its own IPrayer Meeting on Friday 
evening.
